Election Day Thread 2008

I gotta say...I am proud of our country. I def didn't vote for Obama but I am proud we elected a black man with a muslim sounding name. The shear step forward that shows from only a diversity standpoint is immense to me. Bravo to America. We don't suck quite as bad as some may have thought.

Both candidates gave great speeches.

I've been told I'm a pretty good public speaker but man what I wouldn't give to have the oratory skills of Obama and command the stage the way he does. I don't know that I've ever heard a better public speaker. It is just amazing

Just curious, any word from the Clintons tonight?

Dude is a baller. He's second fiddle only to Abraham Lincoln, Martin L. King, and John F. Kennedy.

The thing that I liked the most about the speech was when he said the words "I promise."

It's hard to not get swept up in every word he says.

I'm right there with ya.

Clear lack of class, I would even go to say intellect, from the McCain-Palin supporters during McCain's speech. Really sad actually.

Well, I think there were a few early on who were vocal in their disappointment (to be expected), but under the guidance of McCain the jeers turned into cheers.
